    Hi,

    I usually cringe at these types of posts, but going to give it a go this time, pretty new player, I play on a kindle fire tablet and really addicted to the game, but I will be a F2P player so that will hinder me in the future.

    My driving is ok, I even outdrive level 80 tour pros with a lot better driver than me (which I'm struggling to get my head around). Iron and approach play is ok, unless in rough/bunker need more practice there, it's my putting that lets me down terribly, even though I am getting slightly better, but not much, hence why my approach play is good, means I don't have to putt.

    I know this has been done to death but the meter and stuttering, remember I play on a kindle, so it may not be the same for everyone, but if I just go straight to a round it's fine for 97% of the shots, the 3% I can live with, but if I watch the videos then go straight to a round, it's probably 20% of shots that are fine, and 80% that stutter. Must have something to do with memory on the device isn't getting cleaned after the videos are watched, but im no expert in this. I usually watch videos, then reboot the kindle, then play.

    Country clubs, I've applied for a few UK ones, no reply, but when I look at the members, the owner has not been seen for 2-3 years even though they have members still active, will just keep looking and applying I suppose.

    I try to talk to everyone I play against, but with a lot it's like pulling teeth getting a reply, I also add as friend everyone I play, but as you can see only 4 have accepted :(

    Ah well, will keep plugging away, I'm not good by any means and its usually one stupid shot that screws me on a hole, but I will get there eventually.

    Nice meeting you all (and sorry for the essay).

    Welcome to WGT Steven !

    Always nice to see new mobile players here  in the forums !

    I see you use the MK 2 clubset and for now they will do just fine. F2P will be tough especially if you continue to progress to other tiers ( tees will be furher back, faster greens), but Continue to watch videos, save your credits and also be on the lookout for special offers in the offers section. Some of the Casino's run a special where you if you deposit $10 you can get up to 4000 credits !!! For now the Tour sd ball will do just fine, and for 65 credits it will really help you improve.

    Putting can be a *** here, but I  consider putting to be the strongest part of my game. Friend invite sent so we can check out what your problem is.

    See you on the links !

    Thanks for the welcome, the set I have are just the 10k rental for 7 days, so I will be back to starters soon, as for the putting it did seem to click last night after I done this post, maybe more good luck than good judgement though.

     

    It's more the break than speed of the put that I couldn't judge, I always seemed to be on the low side so not giving the put enough break. I had a few holes on chambers bay and while some of the puts were ridiculous, huge bank in front, then a 2 ft drop to the hole,  it did help me read the greens a little bit better.

    Members say a putter should be last to buy, so im going to hold off till later, but I have been tempted to buy the spider or the anser.

    A bug I have noticed, even though it worked fine last night, is that when I level up, and a rental club appears for the same new level, 28/28 as an example, it says my level is not high enough to rent this club, which is very annoying.

    Also, why is my author name and the name in my profile URL different to my actual name, im guessing I screwed up somewhere, but not sure how, or if its fixable.

    My posts are still under moderation, so this may be 2 posts in a row.

    Thanks, I have just applied, lots of high tiers in there, feel a bit intimidated lol.

    Maybe I was looking a bit too local for a club, was limiting my criteria to Northumberland/Newcastle area.
